In an interview that very same yr with SFGate, Cole spoke on how she considered her music. She mentioned: “Don’t look at me like an R&B artist. Most of the places that I go to and the people that I be around and perform in front of are actual hip-hop fans. They’re not R&B fans. These are people who go to the clubs and want to hear the bang-bang music. They don’t want to f*****g hear no slow s**t. But I can go in there and appeal to that audience because I am young and they feel my heart and where I’m coming from.”
She additionally mirrored on why she makes music, noting that there’s a distinct cause than many may anticipate. She mentioned: “There are some artists that love that limelight. I don’t do it for that. I do it for something else. I just do it because of all the s**t I’ve been through. I want girls my age to understand. The girls I sing to is in the ‘hood. They’re in predicaments that I’m sure it’s hard to get through, to be focused and try to be in school and try to keep a job, try to keep their minds straight. Those are the types of girls that listen to me. That’s why I sing—for them. I can’t let ’em down.”
